The next day, Hu Yifei brought Li Yi to her friend's recording studio.
"Zhu Yi, let me introduce you. This is Hou Shaojie, my buddy from high school.”Hu Yifei pointed at Li Yi." This is my friend, Li Yi. He's the one who's coming to record the song."”
Li Yi extended his hand." Hello, I'm Li Yi, Yifei's friend. Please take care of me."”
Seeing Hou Shaojie's ambiguous look, Hu Yifei didn't refute him. She just glared at Li Yi.
Hou Shaojie patted Li Yi's shoulder sympathetically…
After entering the recording studio, Hou Shaojie called over his friend who could play the erhu and introduced him.
Li Yi took out the score and gave it to the two of them.
The two of them were also experts in this area. With a look, their previous contempt disappeared completely. Initially, Hou Shaojie did not take Li Yi seriously when he saw that Li Yi was so young. He thought that Li Yi was just playing and wanted to record a song as a souvenir. He only agreed on account of Hu Yifei.
Now that he saw the score, he knew that he had made a huge mistake. Not only was the song good, but the instruments used were an ancient Chinese instrument, the erhu, and a piano from the West. Using electronic music to match these two different types of instruments, it not only reflected the national style, but also had key pop elements.
"This is a sentimental love song, right? Do you have lyrics? Let me see them." said Hou Shaojie anxiously.
"Lyric? I haven't even seen the lyrics, so don't even think about it!”Hu Yifei sounded very unhappy. She kept pestering Li Yi to sing the song for her along the way, but Li Yi used the excuse that the song was too sad and refused to sing it.
First, he recorded Li Yi's piano accompaniment. After sitting beside the piano, Li Yi immediately transformed into a piano master. The only pity was that his favorability with Hu Yifei had yet to reach 70, and his piano proficiency was only temporarily lent to him by the system. However, the system was very generous this time and did not ask him for exchange points.
In just a few minutes of accompaniment, the few of them were mesmerized. It was not until Li Yi stood up that Hou Shaojie said excitedly,"Perfect!”
One of them was in the movie industry and music industry, while the other was an urban white-collar worker. They both liked to mix Chinese and English when they spoke…
Hou Shaojie's friend was also very good at playing the erhu. He only played it three times.
Next was the work of Hou Shaojie in the recording studio. He combined the two instruments and the electronic synthesized sound together to form a complete accompaniment. In this regard, Hou Shaojie was an expert.
Even though The Voice of China only listened to voices, no one could deny the charm of an original work. If the two students who were competing had equally outstanding singing voices, then the instructor would definitely be more inclined towards the original singer.
This was the first edition of The Voice of China. Currently, there were a total of 150 singers selected from all over the world. Most of them were already gathered in Shanghai. When Li Yi arrived with Hu Yifei, they were almost on the last bus. The rest had almost arrived.
Every singer had a special receptionist. Li Yi's receptionist was called Mo Xiaobin, an ordinary staff member of Shanghai TV Station.
"Hello, Mr. Li Yi. Please verify your personal information. Also, you have to report the songs you need to perform in the qualifiers so that the director can arrange the recording time and the order of your appearance.”Mo Xiaobin said.
Before Li Yi could say anything, Hu Yifei pulled Mo Xiaobin to a corner. She looked around and said,""Xiao Mo, I'm Li Yi's manager, Hu Yifei. Your station's Zeng Xiaoxian and Nuo Lan are my good friends. Also, is there anyone who has already reserved the championship?”
Mo Xiaobin didn't know whether to laugh or cry." Ms. Hu, since you're friends with Brother Xiaoxian and Sister Nuolan, you should know that The Voice is completely open and fair this time. Especially in the finals, the audience will decide who the champion is.”
"I see!" Hu Yifei said in disappointment. Then forget it."
Mo Xiaobin took the accompaniment tape that Li Yi gave him and left in a hurry. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Hu Yifei would do something to bribe him in public!
……
"Original creation?" Quan Lei frowned. Who recommended this singer? Why didn't he recommend it to the original creation competition? What are you doing here? This is China's Voice, not China's original!
"Director Quan, this was recommended by the team leader of the second team. This Li Yi is the singer of 'Fairy Tale.'”the assistant said.
"China Original Music Network's Fairy Tale? Quickly play this accompaniment for me!" When he heard that Li Yi was the author of Fairy Tale, Quan Lei's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn. He was a director, but at the same time, he was also a musician who truly loved music.
Quan Lei was extremely excited after the song ended. "Just now, we decided on the second person to appear. Let's arrange his order for tomorrow!”
" It's Huang Ping 'an…" The assistant thought for a moment and said,""However, this Li Yi has a condition. Before the finals, he doesn't want to reveal that he is the singer of 'Fairy Tale.' He wants to win with his true strength.”
"Agree to his request!" Quan Lei liked Li Yi even more. This was the singer he was looking for.
……
Hu Yifei still did not quite understand the benefits of being the second to appear. However, Li Yi was very clear about it.
Usually, the first singer arranged by the production team would definitely be able to pass the auditions. Otherwise, the show would be in a dead end. One had to know that this was a variety show, and it depended on the viewership ratings. If the viewership ratings were not high, the show would fail.
However, the first singer would definitely be an above average singer. Why? Because only such singers would be controversial and cause the coaches to hesitate. Only then would the show be interesting. Of course, it was also destined that the first contestant would be eliminated in the first or second round.
But the second singer was different. After the controversy over the first singer, the audience's interest had been aroused. At this moment, some people should be wondering if all the singers of The Voice were of this standard. In that case, such a program was not worth watching.
Therefore, at this moment, the second singer had to be a capable singer who could make everyone's eyes light up.
At the same time, the second singer would be the first to be recognized by the audience and would gain the support of many people. Even if a similar singer appeared later, their popularity would not be comparable to the second singer.
The official recording was set for the afternoon. Although it was a variety show, The Voice did not have any rehearsals. As long as there were no major accidents, the recording and broadcast would be done in one go. If there were any mistakes during the performance, such as going off-key or running away, then they would be directly eliminated and there would not be a next chance.
"Xiao Xian, Nuo Lan, over here!" They had lunch at the Shanghai TV station and happened to meet Zeng Xiaoxian and Nuo Lan, who were talking and laughing. There was a cute girl beside Nuo Lan, who was probably Zeng Xiaoxian's girlfriend. Although she was not very beautiful and chubby, she was cute.
"Yifei, are you here to participate in The Voice? I already said that you and Mika's voices are very suitable for singing. Why, have you finally figured it out now?”Nuo Lan took the lead and sat down beside Hu Yifei. She did not know Li Yi, so she simply nodded her head as a greeting.
"It's not me, it's him, he's new in 3602!”Speaking of singing, Hu Yifei said," Hmph, I'm not going to sing. It's such a loss to stand on the stage and let so many people watch!" As for Meijia? Please, if you can make her remember her lines, you can let her try.”
"This is a little difficult…" Nuo Lan hurriedly shook her head.
"Li Yi? I really didn't know that you were chosen by The Voice. This time, when we go back, we must treat you to three times at Drunken Immortal Restaurant!”Zeng Xiaoxian said.
"Zeng Xiaoxian, why do you only know how to eat?”Hu Yifei looked down on Zeng Xiaoxian and asked,""Xiao Xian, Nuo Lan, are you familiar with the director? Help me pull some strings.”
When Li Yi heard Hu Yifei's words, he quickly moved his chair to Zeng Xiaoxian's side, as if he didn't know her.
Zeng Xiaoxian leaned back in his chair weakly."If I was familiar with all the great directors, would I have been sent back from being a television host to a radio host?”
Hu Yifei did not give up and looked at Nuo Lan.
Nuo Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry." Yifei, Director Quan is a very upright person. It's useless even if his own son is participating in the competition. Everything depends on strength."”
